Breaking the World Tournament Record, Japan Gets Crushed

Japan had no answer for Wang Yi's scoring.

If they didn't foul him, were they supposed to just watch him score three after three?

But if they fouled him, Wang Yi could make one free throw, grab the rebound, and then hit a three.

That was even worse.

At this point, they were just two points shy of the 100-point record.

How could they keep China from widening the margin to more than 100 points in just one minute?

It was a huge problem for Japan.

A bigger problem was that they couldn't think of any way to solve it.

In the end, they could only choose to foul someone else.

On offense, with China's defense about to force a 24-second violation, Japan's Tsuji Naoto suddenly launched a drifting three-pointer.

That cut the deficit to 95 points.

There were only 30 seconds left.

In those 30 seconds, Japan had to prevent China from scoring, while China needed at least six more points to break the record.

It seemed like a tall order.

But right then, Wang Yi pulled off another outrageous move.

After receiving Zhao Jiwei's inbound pass, he caught Japan off guard and flung the ball straight toward the frontcourt.

Everyone was stunned.

Wang Yi had thrown the ball from beneath his own basket all the way to the backboard at the other end.

Was he going to shoot a full-court three from under his own basket?

Every Japanese player felt their heart tighten.

Bang—

After flying across the court, the ball slammed into the backboard and bounced away.

Just then, a red figure flashed past the other nine players and reached midcourt.

The ball hit the backboard, bounced once on the floor, and came to rest beyond the three-point line.
